Bean Chips, Snack Bars, and Noodles

The Date: Tuesday, March 22

The Delivery: Halo bars in assorted flavors from ProBar, bean and rice chips in assorted flavors from Beanfields, and noodles from NoOodle

Staff Pick: The pico de gallo chips!

The DL: Thank goodness some food came in the mail today; with the entire office buzzing about this week's Vegan Bucket List Giveaway, we were starting to get a little antsy for some office treats (and with the prize being a Chocolate Peanut Butter Mousse Bomb cake from Vegan Treats, who can blame us?). We first tasted Beanfields' chips at Expo West, and we think they will make a perfect base for some gooey vegan nachos. Good thing we have a million pounds of Daiya to make our culinary dreams come true. It's nacho time, people.

Fruit + Intuition

Date: Monday, September 14
The Delivery: Daydreaming in Class by vegan author Wendy Fox, a few Libre loose leaf-tea glasses, and some fruit-filled bars
Staff Pick: The strawberry Fruition bar

The DL: Featuring brand-new packaging, PROBAR's fruit-inspired energy bar is now on sale. Our intuition tells us that these bars may just hit the spot.

This just in! Check out Café VegNews for a daily giveaway this week of Lauren Ulm's new Vegan Yum Yum cookbook.

Fruity Friday

Date: Friday, July 3
The Delivery: Some Spa Time Baby products and new snack-bars from PROBAR
Staff Pick: The antioxidant-rich Fruition bars

The DL: PROBAR has gone au naturel with these snack bars, made with fruit and whole grains. If they taste as good as the original bars, then they'll be eaten in record time.

Empowering Words

Date: Tuesday, April 7
The Delivery: Two books, a yoga DVD, a PROBAR variety pack, some soup and tea from Pacific Foods, and tropical tea from Zhena's Gypsy Tea
Staff Pick: Peter Singer's new book, The Life You Can Save

The DL: Anyone in the animal-rights movement knows the name Peter Singer, the author of the preeminent book on AR philosophy, Animal Liberation. His latest literary offering covers a different, but still very important issue—that of world poverty. We're very much looking forward to seeing what empowering words he has to say on the subject.
